Dr. Erika

Episodes of the Dr. Erika Show make science accessible and entertaining for elementary and middle school students across New England. The show was executive produced by Joshua Seftel, an Emmy Award-winning filmmaker who has produced educational programs for NOVA, PBS and WBGH. Its host, Dr. Erika, is a 2004 graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and earned a Ph.D. in biochemistry from the Boston University School of Medicine in 2012. She was also crowned Miss Massachusetts in 2004. Leveraging Dr. Erika’s unique background, the show is designed to teach children about science, break stereotypes and make STEM subjects more approachable and entertaining for children.

Science Fair Resources

We believe that participation in science fairs stimulates students to develop inquisitiveness, creativity and reasoning power. Early hands-on experiments allow students to see the applicability of science in the everyday world. See our programs for a description of how we can help organizations near our offices with science fairs. If you are located elsewhere, we hope you find the following links helpful.
